there is something i am really missing ;)

i am using emacs version 21.2.95.2 on sun machines.

the menu items at the top i see are as follows:

    File   Edit   Options  Buffers Tools  Emacs-Lisp Help

None of the above menus seem to lead me to imenu stuff.

is it possible that some other package that i am using is clobbering
the menu item put-forward by imenu?

not sure about the exact elisp code/functions that control the emacs
menus.
once i know the code/functions that control
this feature, i could grep the packages i have and see if they do any
funny things with my menus. any pointers are appreciated.

thanks,
